Document Summary
Organizing element based on: musical characteristics, time periods, uses, types of listeners. Style and genre conflated terms: style = musical elements, lyrical topics, genres = how all of these elements are combined. Genre is defined by musical characteristics: genres often defined in part by distinctions made by the music industry. Genres: standardizing codes and conventions, musical, lyric, visual, ideological, these codes are fluid: people are constantly crossing genres and changing them. Ex: rock (meta-genre), alt rock, progressive alt rock: pop, disco, r and b disco. Placed in the context of historical roots and social context. Musical borrowing: appropriation: artistic use of another"s work in creation of a new piece. 2: re-mixing and sampling rely on technology, but appropriation does not only contain just musical borrowing from technology. Remaking pop standards: common tradition in blues and jazz traditions (multiple versions of the same songs)
